The Library That Made Me celebrates the power of libraries and their enduring place in the hearts of communities across NSW and beyond.

For the State Library's 200th Anniversary, 10 photographers were commissioned to capture images and stories of library users from 65 libraries across regional NSW and metropolitan Sydney. Library users were invited to share personal stories about the libraries that have shaped their lives and identities.

These photographs, now part of the State Library's collection, offer a contemporary record of libraries today, and celebrate the many ways they connect and inspire us.
